Installing Elixir on Ubuntu 15.10
If I try to install on Ubuntu 15.10 I get the error message below.
Any ideas?
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
esl-erlang : Depends: libssl0.9.8 but it is not installable
Recommends: erlang-mode but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Have you tried installing libssl-dev first?
I’m not that familiar with Ubuntu but I guess with something like:
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

I think you’re better to use kiex and kerl to manage the Elixir / Erlang version.
Since quite a number of libraries are depending the newer version Elixir

First as I remember Ubuntu had outdated Erlang.
To install the latest erlang http://devblog.avdi.org/2013/07/05/installing-elixir-on-ubuntu-13-04/
Second you don’t need to install Elxiir. You can download binary files and add location to your path.
This is how you can have the latest setup.
PS
Now I am running http://neon.kde.org/

This actually worked for me:
To fix the error with esl-erlang
echo 'deb https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/ubuntu xenial contrib' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
wget https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/ubuntu/erlang_solutions.asc
sudo apt-key add erlang_solutions.asc
sudo apt update && sudo apt install esl-erlang
And then I could install elixir:
sudo apt-get install elixir
